15. St. Therese of Lisieux, take care of your needful priests who so long to follow God’s will shepherding their flocks under the directives of our beloved Pope Benedict XVI.

    Comment by marthawrites — 24 February 2010 @ 3:19 pm

16. Just logged in , Rosary is on order for these priest’s tonight.

    Comment by ssoldie — 24 February 2010 @ 7:56 pm

17. O Jesus, Eternal Priest, look down with love upon Thy priests. Fill them with burning zeal for the conversion of sinners. Keep them within the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart. Keep unstained their anointed hands which daily touch Thy Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips purpled with Thy precious Blood. Keep pure and unearthly their hearts sealed with the sublime marks of Thy glorious Priesthood. Let Thy holy love protect them from the world’s contagion. Bless their labors with abundant fruit, and may the souls to whom they minister on earth be one day their joy and consolation in heaven. Amen.

    Comment by MarieSiobhanGallagher — 25 February 2010 @ 11:18 am
